[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is cautious because the emergence of more transmissible and more deadly variants are throwing a wrench in the re-opening plans. [b]No one knows exactly what impact the UK, S. African, Brazilian, and apparently New York variants (California variant apparently isn't as dangerous) will have on Covid trends, but it's wise to be very cautious at this point in time.[/b]

Please don't worry, OP and others. If it turns out we can open more, we most assuredly will! I hope you all understand that politicians are very worried about continued economic impact of closures. The default is to keep things open as much as possible. The fact that they're not tells you it's still a very high-risk situation.

There are multiple studies showing strong efficacy from all three vaccines the USA is or soon will be using against at least the UK, South African, and Brazilian variants.

It’s simply untrue to say that no one knows. [/quote]

That's partly true (the Astra Zeneca used by many countries is not efficient), but the more concerning issue here is that more transmissible and/or deadly new variants are appearing at a much more rapid clip than before. That's because the virus is now rampant across the globe, and populations are trying to suppress it, leading to perfect conditions for maximum evolutionary pressure.

So we have to stay extremely vigilant.

I specified the three vaccines the USA is or soon will be using. We are not using AZ and probably will never be. [/quote]
